MODERATELY BULLIsH.
The Prices OF All Stocks Higher Than

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The stock market
was moderately active and strong from
opening to close, though the advance was
slow and steady. The lowest prices were
made in the first hour, and the best In the
last hour, most stocks closing at the highest
price OF the day. There was little news,
except the advance on rates agreed upon In
the northwest, which had q stimulating
effect upon the grangers aud to some degree
upon the remainder. The sentiment was
moderately bulllsh, with the foreigners do
ing little or nothing and commission people
buying for small amounts. The traders
were ranged ON the aide OF lower prices and
worked with a prominent bear house to
bring about reaction.
The demand for stocks was very mod
crate during the forenoon, but prices
steadily, though slowly, advanced, when
the bears became frightened, and under
considerable excitement attempted to cover
shorts, when the rise gathered force, and
the amount OF business done showed a
marked increase. The close was active and
strong at the best prices reached.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from 81 to 4, last loan at 81, and closing
offered at 81. Sterling exchange is dull and

FROM HEART AND NATURE. BY SARAH
BOLTON. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell IL
Co., l3 Astor Place. Publishers.
We like these poems; like them very
much, both the mans and the woman's--
brother and sister, perhsps--of whom we
know no more than is written or printed, to
be prosaical, on the pages before us, But thus
we know much. or fancy we do. And as
wepursue our musical way through the
volume, liking enlargcs, grows warmer,
and is loving.
True in thought and melodious in ex.
preston; abundant In tenderness; simple
and cage; these productions, the works OF
both authors, honor humanity aud our
country.
From the man we quote entire:
HOPE.
In the blackest night
There are threads of light
Which will weave a way
To the realm OF day;
In the lashing sea
Turks melody;
In the heart of wrong
is cleansing song;
From no soul once born
Has the crushing scOrn
OF the world 0ut-trod
The life germ of God.
From the woman, again entire:
THAT DEPENDS.
She Is older fa", you say,
Than the man she weds to-day;
He will tire of fad ing cheek,
Whitening hair, ana body weak:
Long for youth, and girlish grace.
Love another In her place.
That depends! II soul to soul
Welded be, as parts Of whole;
Ifher mind has depths for him,
Filled with knowledge TO the brim;
Ifher heart has held him fast
In the leashes OF the past,
Making perfect peace and rest;
Satisfied with loves behest;
Two is one, like polar star,
Nothing can their future mar
Love holds not by voice or eye,
Silken hair, or lips that vie
With the roses; love, complete,
Must be Godlike, strong, and sweet
Love knows neither age nor time,
Pure, ali healing, and sublime.
Gratifying would II be to us, and to SOM
| Of our readers, we hope, to quote more, o
at least write few approving words abou

woman's beautiful thoughts concernin
them, and trust their verse may 1nd man
